I just love Minted holiday cards. They designs and quality are top notch. I was so excited to be able to work with Minted on our Christmas cards this year!
When I opened the box I immediately reached for a card to feel the thickness and quality. It really is amazing!
I was so excited when I was asked to introduce you all to Brika!
Brika is the latest and greatest one stop shop of all things handmade and well designed!
As a handmade artist with my Armelle Jewelry, I just love to see beautiful online shops like this showcasing the best of the best, and all the latest and great handmade shops out there! Brika strives to showcase handmade products as well as their makers, allowing the buyer to really get a feel for the person behind the product.
I think it is so important to buy local and handmade whenever possible, especially for things like Christmas gifts because you can assure you are getting some unique finds, as well as one of a kind quality that goes with handmade.
I am excited to share with you a few gift guides that I put together using items that I found on the Brika site! It was hard to pick and choose, because I pretty much liked everything they had to offer!
It would be so easy to pick a few things out for myself as well as for my besties! (Keep reading for a giveaway offer!)
Be sure to head over to Brika, and check out all of their amazing gift ideas and items! There are pages and pages of cute things! I had a hard time narrowing it down!
And, good news! Brika is giving away a $25 gift card to one of you!
Go here and sign up for the Brika community, (you can use your Facebook and you get a $5 code when you sign up!) then browse around and let me know what you would pick for your bestie on the site, and leave me a comment to the link on this post! (US and Canada residents only)
Happy Shopping!

I love interactive toys for my children that make them use their minds.
I was excited when I was contacted by Wūka to check out their designs and educational squares. I love how each square teaches my children an essential skill, and they can quietly work on each square and learn something new.
Whether it is learning to tell time or buckling up buckles, or buttoning up a button, there are several squares to choose from teaching different skills.
My children had a lot of fun going through each page, and learning and interacting.
I love that it will provide hours for fun and learning for them, while I can get a project done or keep them busy when times they are expected to be quiet like at church.
I was very impressed with the overall quality of the squares, I loved how they used their silicone links to link together the book so easily, and you can change the order of the book no problem.
I have tried my hand at making my own quiet book, and let me tell you it is very labor intensive (like WELL over 40 hours). I feel like the Wūka squares are well designed and very well made with a great price point.
I think the Wūka squares would be a great Christmas gift for your children or friends!
Be sure to check out all the squares they offer on their Wūka squares page, and their Facebook page!
And, good news! Wūka is offering my readers a 10% off code that expires December 31, 2013. Just type in “armelleblog” at checkout.
